Abstract
Desilylation of a series of hydrolytically stable hydroxyquinone t-butyldim ethylsilyl ethers was achieved in high yields by the use of potassium fluor ide in the presence of catalytic amounts of aqueous 48% hydrobromic acid (H Br), or basic aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and tetra-n-butyl-ammonium fluoride (Bu4NF) as cleaving agents.
